Human Is It To Humour Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Lesser chimps bow down to alpha hunks tail,
A filly doe fawns over horny stags,
Show willing hinds to the dominant male,
Poor is pitted to please podgy pay-bags.
Man, an attired ape flaunting bigger brain,
What pains he piles pleasing all power and pelf!
A smarmy spoon that knows little restrain
In matters that would dwarf his puny self.

If a man no whit more than a proud toad
Pretends to be an alpha lion king,
He knows more than enough it's pretty odd,
He's a cat caught cringing in circus ring.
If bowing to hefty weights be human,
Humouring lofty heights' no less common.
